There she sits in the lobby waiting. Waiting for who or what. Can you guess why this beautiful red haired woman is in the lobby of the Pera Palace Hotel? Write what you thoughts are in our blog.

Pera Palace Hotel, was home to many firsts. It was the first and only building with electricity other than Ottoman Palaces. The first electric elevator was also in Pera Palace Hotel. British writer Daniel Farson described this elevator in these words: “It is the most beautiful elevator in the world made of cast iron and wood. This elevator ascends like a lady who curtsies. Tourists can not take their eyes off this utterly pretty and aristocrat elevator.” Bathrooms that provided the only running hot water in the city were also privileges available only to the hotel guests. High ceiling spacious rooms lit by magnificent chandeliers were never empty and were host to many unforgettable tea and dance parties.

Pera Palace Hotel, that has been a significant symbol of the urban culture of İstanbul for over a hundred years, was also the proud and silent witness of many historical events such as World War I, Occupation of Istanbul, Turkish War of Independence, founding of the Turkish Republic and World War II.
